Hi, your docker documentation [wrote](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-with-docker/), that:

> For a stable release you can use `:latest`…

I used that for a long time and was happy with that. But updating today, suddenly I got not the Stable release, but Release Candidate **1.16.0+rc1**. Is than an error, so I need to rollback version for staility purposes, or does it mean, that RC is ready for production?

Although I think 1.16.0-rc1 is stable enough for production, but that should be a bug of build script. RC versions should not stable versions. I will discuss it with maintainers and try to resolve it.
